EVENTFUL WEEK

Astaghfirullah al azim...Astaghfirullah al azim...
Lunak alunan suara zikir terapi diri yang kupasang setiap hari di dalam kereta sewaktu pergi dan pulang dari kerja.Dapat mendamaikan sedikit jiwa yang kusut. Minggu yang begitu eventful.

Aku bersyukur kerana berakhir sudah satu tanggungjawab yang dipikul selama sebulan.Walaupun aku cuba low profile as low as I could, mereka tetap nampak aku.Maka terpikullah amanah sebagai HO leader yang tidak pernah langsung aku impikan.Namun aku bersyukur kerana tidak diganggu langsung oleh Specialist mahupun MO in charge kerana kedua-duanya tiada pada bulan lepas.Namun selepas semuanya berakhir, tidak semena-mena namaku masih disebut-sebut sebagai ketua.Ward rotation pun masih menyuruh aku untuk aturkannya.Masih menyebut-nyebut namaku sebagai chief.Jika beri wang seribu ringgit pun aku tak sanggup memikul amanah itu lagi.Cukuplah sekali di jabatan itu.

Kami bertukar wad Jumaat lepas.Alhamdulillah, amat selesa dengan wad ini.Kembali ke wad lelaki.Less procedures but more admission.Akan tetapi wad perempuan yang kutinggalkan kini menjadi kontang-kanting.Admission dah overflow.Team members pula kurang cekap,ramai HO first posting.MOs ramai yang mengutuk tapi sedikit yang menunjuk ajar.Kasihan juga mereka.Tapi betullah, HO generasi sekarang kurang berusaha.Sudah tiga bulan, basic belum grab lagi.Macam mana?Takkan semua pun mengharapkan senior, sampai bila-bila pun yang junior takkan belajar.

I considered myself having a good call last Sunday.Only 4 admissions from 12pm to 8 am, compared to my friend, 9 admissions from 5 pm to 8 am on Friday.However my MO kept bugging me by asking me to help the female ward. Apparently he did not trust the HO there at all.Luckily ada senior tagger yang helped everything.I couldn't leave my ward as my patient was ill also.Anyway I was happy that I gave a good impression to the specialist during pass over the next day.

On Tuesday, we had an evening at Papa Rich, Straits Quay.It was my first time going there.My comment: so-so only.The restaurant was okay, just like other franchise restaurant, but the staff were not so efficient.Adalah benda yang kurang berpuas hati termasuklah apabila mereka ingin mencantumkan dua meja untuk customers, they just dragged the tables without even lift them up.Bukannya berat sangat meja tu pun.Maka terhasillah bunyi-bunyian yang amat tidak enak, yang mengganggu perbualan kami.Sampai aku cakap, "Can you please lift up the table?" Menu...very moderate, nothing so special.I ordered a hot chocolate which was superb, but the noodles soup with mutton was just too plain.Its like mi segera bubuh garam dan letak telur goreng dan tiga biji mutton balls.Food was not served that quick also.However the best part is we enjoyed "discussing" until night.

Wednesday...as usual after HO teaching, the specialist who came back two weeks ago started giving the exact same long lecture.Then we divided ourselves and went for lunch.one big group, three wards combined together.Lama juga tunggu food sampai sebab banyak queue order.Baru habis makan, a colleague called."Patient bed 4 collapsed, MO is calling the senior HOs to come back to the ward!!!"
Aku pun bingkas berdiri."Guys, patient bed 4 collapsed, let's go back to the ward now!"
Kelam kabut kami berlari di celah-celah orang ramai yang memenuhi kedai makan itu.MA,fellow HOs semua yang mengenali kami tercengang-cengang, apasal empat orang ni kelam kabut sangat? Masa tu memang rasa macam dalam cerita tv.Boleh katakan semua oranglah nampak kami berlari bagai orang gila, termasuklah ketua jabatan kami yang kebetulan berada di pintu belakang itu.

We resuscitated the patient (who was just 47 years old) for almost 2 hours.Unfortunately he passed away after a severe sepsis.Allah dah tentukan ajalnya hari tu.Masa kami baru bertukar wad, dia nampak okay saja.Siap buat wound debridement lagi untuknya.Innalillahiwainna ilaihi raajiun.

On Thursday I was doing clinic duty, which finished as early as 4.30pm.I returned to the ward, all jobs were done.Suddenly at 4.50pm, one new case came in.They all expecting me to clerk because I hadn't do anything yet (like I was sitting down shaking my legs in clinic?). So I just quickly clerked the patient and my friend took his bloods.Done, 5.30 chow!At 7pm, my parents and I went to Butterworth for a wedding.It was the first time my Swift rode the ferry to cross the sea. Subhanallah, syukur dapat lihat dan hidu lautan.Rasa tenang sangat...The Ahmad Badawi Hall was just 5 minutes from the ferry terminal.Mak and ayah kept saying that now it is always me who brought them here and there.My elder brothers just did not care anymore.Well, I will do everything for you, mak & ayah, but I can't do anything about my brothers because I myself also is heartbroken from their ignorance and irresponsibility.

Friday...I almost had to go to OT to replace a friend, but she went to OT herself.So I stayed in the ward, assisting one high tibial pin insertion and doing one ray amputation.I had a good nasi lemak breakfast so I didn't go for lunch. Suddenly at 3pm, we received a call from female ward, requesting for back up.One patient collapsed.Apa lagi, another episode of running!!!From third floor to second floor.Only this time I was alone.My junior collaeague who was in the ward just said ,"kejap" but never showed up.Fine, tunggulah bila  oncall nanti, when patient collapse, don't ever say that you don't know what to do, because you had the chance to learn but you just ignored it.

Bila sampai kat female ward, ada three HOs, semua first posting, just standing around the patient.
Terbeliak lah biji mataku melihat keadaan itu."Guys, wear gloves, wear mask, start resus!!"
Barulah sorang-sorang start bergerak.I am really sure one of them had already experienced the resus situation but still acting very blurred!So we tried to help her, who already collapsed the day before in dialysis unit but able to revive.Only 5 minutes later MO came...the tagging MO.Apa lagi, bila nampak aku kat sana, dia biar je aku handle.Patient unable to revive, prognosis also very poor.Pronounced death at 3.40pm.Dah habis resus, aku pun explained sikit-sikit kat junior HOs bertiga tu.Semoga mereka tahu nak handle this kind of situation the next time.Lepas tu aku pun kena leter dengan MO tu.Dia suruh letak more senior HO kat ward, sebab yang juniors are too slow,bila tanya ada new case ke tak pun tak tahu..mereka cuma tahu patient yang mereka review saja.Okay...I am no longer the leader,so I passed the message to the current leader.

Such an eventful week, malam ni aku break from study.Emotions pun not very stable.Esok baru study balik for my assessment.Photos later.
